Sorry, what I meant was the summary task bar on the Gantt chart will show
the proper duration based on the sub tasks, but the numeric value listed
under the summary bar duration will be way out of whack, significantly
larger than the value shown by it's bar.
John,
When you say the "numeric value listed under the summary bar duration",
just what do you mean? There is normally a Duration field shown in the
tabular data on the left of a Gantt view and there may or may not be a
value for duration shown in or around the Gantt Bar itself. Also
remember that the physical bar length spans both working and non-working
time but the Duration value is working time. It might also be possible
the value you are seeing is not Duration but Baseline Duration or Actual
Duration.
If none of the above answers your question, post more information (i.e.
values and dates) so we can better help you (note: do not post the file
itself, some of the guys don't like binaries attached to posts). If you
really believe that looking at the actual file is the best way, you can
e-mail it to me and I'll take a look at it.
John
